Hello, my question is can I sue the city (specifically the police dept) in small claims court ?

Lawyer's Assistant: Since laws vary from place to place, what state is this in? And when did this happen?

I live in California. my car was towed from a trolley parking lot because of an expired registration.

Lawyer's Assistant: Has anything been filed or reported?

I was told by the police dept that there is no report however I can go see them mon thru friday at the traffic division. unfortunately the towing fees by that time will be double what the car is worth.

Lawyer's Assistant: Anything else you want the lawyer to know before I connect you?

I would like to know whether or not the attorney is aware of the difference between Driving: a commercial activity which requires a license and registration. vs traveling which is a constitutionally protected right. Reno vs Condon Jan 12, 2000 and state vs Spokane.
